Gate 1 Foundation |SOUTH AFRICA

The Foundation's soon-to-be first supported school in South Africa, Safari Primary, is located in the small town of Hluhluwe in northern KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. It is situated between iSimangaliso Wetland Park and Hluhluwe–iMfolozi Park on the banks of the Hluhluwe River.

OUR IMPACT

At Safari Primary, the Foundation will be funding for the installation of new bathrooms with proper washing facilities. A 5,000 liter water tank will also be installed to better support the school's water needs. In addition to these building and infrastructure projects funded by the Foundation, Gate 1 invites tour passengers, who visit our schools as part of their itineraries, to bring small items that are needed but in short supply, to give to the school's students. In this way, Gate 1 Foundation is able to supplement its large-scale contributions with essential educational supplies, which students' families are often unable to afford, thereby multiplying our positive impact on communities.

200 STUDENTS DAILY WILL BENEFIT

Safari Primary School is very rural with most students walking, often barefoot, between 2-3 miles twice a day so they can attend classes. The school was established in 1985 with modest donations of materials from the parents in the region managing to construct three basic classrooms originally.
2020 will see new construction on a brand new dining hall, which will also serve as a large indoor facility for all school functions.
